Document Summary
Developmental social neuroscience: an introduction notes false dichotomies means falsely splitting up the constructs into two different things when they really are very similar and connected to each other. From developmental perspective, human beings viewed as dynamic organisms, continually in flux: effort is made to document the ontogenetic time series. Raul aguilar employed rat model focused on rough-and-tumble play: effects attributable to influences of early social experience on play motivation. Maybe thru ocytocin-dependent sensitization of socioaffective neural circuits during infancy. Mirror neurons discovered in monkey premotor cortex. Premotor cortex activation varies w/ content of action observation. Neural activation related to social feedback was context dependent. Increased activation in response to acceptance when participants had positive expectations. Greater neural activity, indicated by higher amplitude late-occurring erps, was associated with greater reported ostracism-related distress. Activation in the insula predicted subsequent prosocial behaviour towards excluded vistims. Culture-based and individual experiences shape adolescents" appreciation of potential rewards.
